We offer an excellent holistic educational programme incorporating academic, cultural, social and sporting opportunities. Exude a loving and caring environment that makes a difference for all children.

Welcome to Japari School – Parkview

In 1966 Dr Sonia Machanick, opened Japari’s doors to 6 bright, talented children who had not found true success in traditional schools. Four of these children were her own. Dr Machanick frequently led the way in educational research publishing a number of educational papers and authoring the spelling book series “Sounds Travel” which is still in use. Japari grew and soon became known as a premier environment for children who learn differently.

Japari addresses the education of students who have not found true success in traditional schools, and whose learning needs depend on personal instruction and unique teaching methods. Our multi-faceted environment incorporates not only academics, but also offers a full sporting and cultural programme.

Japari is an R -7 independent preparatory school for students with unique learning styles and /or learning differences. Japari was founded on the idea that all students deserve an educational environment suited to their needs, and for over 50 years we have delivered on that promise by providing one of the top educational environments for students with learning differences. Speak to Japari students, parents, teachers and alumni, and you will hear profoundly moving stories of courage, determination and success.

At Japari School we celebrate not just achievement but also progress. We understand that learning is at times difficult and confusing. Our enduring aim is to provide each pupil with a tailored education, within a caring community, whereby they can maximise their abilities and achieve personal goals, whether these are academic, artistic, sporting or in other fields. We are ambitious for every child and want them to have the confidence and be ambitious for themselves.

May I take this opportunity to express our gratitude for the five great years invested in our son Cameron. Not only has he developed personally but his academic results have grown from strength to strength. We are so proud of what Cameron has accomplished at school and we know that this would not have been possible had it not been to the teachers who built on his talents over the past five years.

We will indeed be indebted to Japari for a lifetime and the foundation created in Cameron will most definitely stand him in good stead for his future. Not single out the teachers, I want to thank all of the teaching staff who assisted in the growth of Cameron, it has been tremendous to witness his confidence in the field of academics.

All the best for the Festive season and we are looking forward to visiting Japari in the future, once a Japarian, always a Japarian.

People say “First Impressions are the Lasting Impressions”

From our first visit, last year, to my last visit, this morning, at the what I now call “The Reading Picnic” Japari has made A HUGE LASTING IMPRESSION ON US.

This week has been full of activities. Gala/Cricket/Picnic and that is just for Cameron. I see a lot more going on in the school and you guys (and I mean ALL of you) involved in running the school do an AWSOME job.

I thought I should just take the time to say THANK YOU. YOU ARE A GODSEND
